AS-AOF Rivalry



The AS-AOF rivalry has been an ongoing struggle since 2005. The Main belligerents in this conflict are [AS]_Blueflame and  [AOF]_Explosion.

The Conflict Started in 2005 as [AS]_Explosion was getting angry at the way [AS] was being run and in turn [AS] had a civil war. Explosion and Blueflame turned into enemies in control of the [AS] clan, but [AS]_BlueFlame eventually came out victorious and [AS]_Explosion was banned from the Apocalypse Survivors. Explosion then disappeared for about a month.

In September of 2005, [AOF] and Explosion reemerged as an enemy of the Apocalypse Survivors. It was a "fun" rivalry and soon under [AOF]_Explosion's leadership the Army of Freedom clan came back from the ashes and emerged challenging the clan that he helped create. [AS] and [AOF] had their first clan war in which [AS]_BlueFlame and [AS]_party_kid took on [AOF]_Killa and [AOF]_KINGSLAYER. The battle was intense but [AS]_BlueFlame and [AS]_party_kid crushed the AOF clan easily. With the crushing defeat [AOF]_Explosion lost control of his clan and was booted from the clan he once led proudly. The Army of Freedom clan had done what the Apocalypse Survivors did, kicked their leader out for good. Explosion, clanless and alone decided to quit playing RON altogether and left for about 6-8 months.

In June of 2006 [AOF]_Explosion reemerged once again, vowing to get his revenge on the Apocalypse Survivors. The Apocalypse Survivors destroyed the AOF that booted Explosion out of that clan and Explosion decided to rebuild his lost clan. He recreated his Army of Freedom but failed to ruin the strong Apocalypse Survivors clan. The Apocalypse Survivors plowed Explosion and his Army of Freedom clan but Explosion did not give up. He continued to run AOF with 6-8 members and in 2007, the Apocalypse Survivors crushed and defeated the Army of Freedom clan once again in another killer clan battle, which left Explosion clanless once again. He then left Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots once again and then reemerged again in the fall of 2007.



Explosion came back in the fall of 2007 to rebuild the Army of Freedom clan once again recruiting [AOF]_Wolf, [AOF]_Jin, [AOF]_Sarhara_Joon, and [AOF]_Insert. This time [AOF]_Explosion got his revenge and dominated the Apocalypse Survivors. Stunned and confused the Apocalypse Survivors went into a verbal fight with [AOF]_Explosion for about 5-8 months. On Saturday, March 1, 2008, the Apocalypse Survivors finally took over the Army of Freedom clan. Explosion once again disappears. Then Explosion once again reappeared demanding the return of AOF on April 26, 2008, with [AS] releasing the rights to AOF. AOF came back, in which a 1v1 between [AS]_BlazingDragon and [AOF]_Explosion, where [AOF]_Explosion comes out victorious.

On May 31, 2008 Army of Freedom leader [AOF]_Explosion stepped down as leader because of a no show loss to the Apocalypse Survivors in another clan battle. Explosion then joined the 7GK clan but [-7GK-]-Dark-DeityKnight007 and [AS]_BlueFlame found out [AOF]_Explosion was plotting inside of 7GK to turn 7GK against the Apocalypse Survivors and tried to start a civil war. He failed and was banned from the 7GK clan. He reinstated the AOF clan and recruited {UOE}the_king and [AOF]_TanTan (who was an ex [AS]). He started a war with both [AS] and 7GK, which was quickly quieted down by [AOF]_Explosion himself with a Cease Fire on June 6, 2008.

A few weeks later, the clan battle ceased to exist with the disappearance of AOF and Explosion. Explosion reappeared again in early August and started up the war once again where he left off. AOF declareed war on the Russian Federation (RF Clan) and they went to war 2 weeks before the AS vs. AOF clan war. This time both clans would play for control. In the war between AOF and RF AOF won 3-2 and RF became an AOF colony clan. 2 weeks later [AS]_commander logged into lobby for the AS vs. AOF clan war and there were no AOF's online. AOF forfeited and the Apocalypse Survivors obtained AOF and RF as its colony clans. Now AOF and RF remained the AS colony clans and all content, websites, ranks, recruitment, training, and management of AOF and RF were under AS control. On October 4, 2008 at 7pm central standard time (-6 GMT) AOF and RF can revolt against the Apocalypse Survivors to win their freedom. If they were to lose, they remain under AS control for another 2 weeks. However, either clan attacked. On Thursday, September 25, 2008 at 6:09 pm central standard time the Legendary Knights were created by Explosion.



On February 4, 2009, Explosion returned and tried to take over the Army of Freedom clan by joining under an alias, but failed. On February 9, 2009 at 10:26 pm Central Standard Time (-6 GMT) the Legendary Knights and Artificial Intelligent Units allied and attacked AOF because of the comments that the newly elected AOF President said to AIU. This newly elected President was [AOF]_sam_t. The Apocalypse Survivor,s being the Mother Clan, refused to help the AOF clan to teach their leadership a lesson. [AS]_Macman disagreed with the Apocalypse Survivors’ actions and left. On February 24, 2009 at 9:14 pm Central Standard Time (-6 GMT) the Apocalypse Survivors released the Russian Federation back to its leader: [RF]KnightNArmor. On February 28, 2009, Explosion did the worst thing possible…insults the Apocalypse Survivors. This insult adds the Apocalypse Survivors to the clan war and on the same day the LK clan withdrew their attack on AOF and [AS]_Macman rejoined the Apocalypse Survivors.



On December 17, 2010 the Army of Freedom leader [AOF]_Explosion returned vowing revenge once more and thus a clan battle was scheduled on January 1, 2011. On January 1, 2011 the Apocalypse Survivors went to the lobby at 7pm Central Standard Time (-6 GMT) and await for their Army of Freedom rivals expecting them to not even show, only to be surprised to see them arrive with a full three player team. The two clans battled it out and it seemed that the Apocalypse Survivors would come victorious when in their first game they steam roll the Army of Freedom clan. With their newest recruit [AS]_itachi he was promoted earlier in the week to Senate then to Advisor because of his unexpected role in helping the Apocalypse Survivors improving in skill and in numbers. [AS]_itachi, [AS]_Spyridon_The_Great, and [AS]_Zappa vs [AOF]_Doody, [AOF]_Falcao, and [AOF]_Frosty. [AOF]_Frosty resigned early in the game and it became a 3v2, and so the Apocalypse Survivors quickly took advantage demolishing the Army of Freedom clan going up 1-0 (Frosty was actually [BoR]_Pimp-Masterflex as a spy for AS). In game 2 however, [AOF]_RedNeck, [AOF]_NoobiE, and [AOF]_Falcao joined the fight making it more difficult and ultimately defeating the stunned Apocalypse Survivors. [AS]'s team was [AS]_itachi, [AS]_Zappa, and [AS]_Spyridon_The_Great. In game 3 the same story haunted the Apocalypse Survivors and in a high stakes game where the loser becomes the winner's colony clan the Apocalypse Survivors meet defeat with the Apocalypse Survivors' team: [AS]_itachi, [AS]_Spyridon_The_Great, and [AS]_GlassPassenger. The game record is Apocalypse Survivors: 1 and Army of Freedom: 2 of 5. On January 15, 2011 a new clan battle date was scheduled to finish the series. January 29, 2011 is the game match, same time and place. The Apocalypse Survivors lost to the Army of Freedom clan 3-1. The Apocalypse Survivors are forced to be the Army of Freedom colony clan. On February 5, 2011 the Apocalypse Survivors trick the Army of Freedom leader into releasing the [AS] clan. With the clan free, the Apocalypse Survivors move forward in their recruiting and gaming. It was then found out that Noobie and Redneck were not part of the AOF roster at all.

A new clan war is to be set soon By AS and AOF. After the last clan war, BlueFlame made it a rule that only those recognized by AS and AOF in their respective clans could participate in the clan war. There are still some debate members, but a clan war is to be set sometime between late August to mid September. AS of August 2011, the AS-AOF clan Record stands 40-12, with the lead going towards the Apocalypse Survivors.
